UMX Radian Ultra Micro RC Glider

[gblynden]

Hi guys,

I need to share this fun little RC Plane/RC Glider in here. I plan to record and post a lot of videos of this plane in this thread and I encourage you to post yours in here too!

This is the unboxing, maiden flight, and flight review of this:


Here is the maiden flight:

Hey guys!



Here is a video I made tonight. It was made to show what it looks like gliding down from approximately 200 feet in the air with no power for those that haven't yet joined this exclusive club:

Here is another look at this plane. It shows both up closer and very wide angle looks at this plane:

This video below centers around me nearly losing my UMX Radian last night on a bright and sunny evening. While it was missing from my sight for what seemed like forever, in that helpless span of time I decided I needed to ensure this wasn't going to happen again with my next plane since this one was likely gone forever.

Thankfully, I was able to regain sight with it after spinning circles for a bit. What you will find in this video are a few ideas I applied literally to the surfaces of this RC Plane.



PV: I know some of you have tons more experience doing this than me, so if this is child's play compared to what you do, please feel free to share your expertise

This is the highest I have taken my UMX Radian on video (I am guessing at least 500 plus feet) and I decided to keep the video shown below pretty raw. It includes some pretty funny parts that show the interaction between my camera woman and myself:

How much do they run for.

Sorry I missed this before. They are $89.99 most places.


This is the updated version of my "Visibility Enhancements" video I made back in May shortly after this E-flite UMX Radian RC Glider came out. The changes I have made since then was to use all of the black strips that came with this plane and add green and orange Sharpie ink to this plane. The key for the best result on this foam is to use the liquid Sharpie ink and NOT the traditional style marker. The green didn't turn out as well as it could have as a result of previous attempts with the traditional style Sharpie.
